Who's got 5% tint?

I'm thinking of going with 5%. I've always had 15% but sometimes I feel as though it is not dark enough. I know the biggest issue with 5% is night time driving.

Just want some personal opinions/pictures.

Thanks.

Ive got 5% here in Florida. Nothing on the windshield. On my old cars it made to be a huge issue as at night slow cornering was a bit scary. This one with the cornering lamps works great to keep my eyes on people.

I've had 15s and 5's and I can honestly say stay with the 15s. 5's suck at night when its raining. I get paranoid when backing out and sucks in the winter.

My buddy has 5's all around in his M3 and 20 percent in windshield. During the day I can't even see whos inside at all.

It seems to be a double edge sword. I want 5% so no one can see inside but everyone says night/night rain is terrible.

I have 5%. Sure its a bit inconvenient at times, but overall and most of the time it's not a problem at all. It's great in the daytime for heat, privacy an looks. I say go for it

It depends on the type of tint you use. I have 3m 5% on all my windows and 30% on the entire windshield and I wouldn't have it any other way. The windshield makes the biggest difference for me as far as taking the glare of the inside windows.
